Additional Notes
No official Village of Kane website was located. Generic searches mostly surface the unrelated Kane County, IL Development Department (Kane County is a large collar county near Chicago) - that office has no jurisdiction here, since the Village of Kane is a small village (2020 pop. ~296) in Greene County, in west-central Illinois; this is a name coincidence, not a real lead. Greene County's official site (greenecountyil.org) lists Health, Highway, Pretrial Services, Probation, Public Defender, and Supervisor of Assessment departments but no dedicated building/zoning/planning department, so it is unconfirmed which office, if any, handles building permits for this village. Address is from a third-party directory (unconfirmed) and is a mailing PO box only.
What You Need Before Applying for a Permit
Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Village of Kane's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.
Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
